KEITH

  As soon she finished explaining, she began to slowly back away from me as I glared right through her soul, streams of tears teased her eyes as her tight fists drove her nails deep into the sweaty palms of her hands.

  It was at that tense moment that Isaiah walked into the room. The food he seemed to have been holding were carelessly dropped and spilled as he rushed over to hug me. As his warmth encapsulated my being, the intense glare I was giving her never faltered.

"Please" she mouthed to me as the tears now rolled down her already red cheeks.

  I bit my lower lip and closed my eyes for a few seconds before the look I was giving her softened

"Go" I mouthed back and she obeyed, not that she really even had a choice.

"Oh thank god you're awake" Isaiah sniffled as he pulled away from me.

Was he crying?

  I shrugged as he tried to secretly wipe away the tears that stained his cheeks.

"We need to talk" I said with a serious expression.

"Later" I whispered to him as the door was being slowly opened.

  In came the doctor and Isaiah was asked to leave immediately.

......

After some tests were carried out, the doctor said I could be discharged the next day because they wanted to observe me in early stages of consciousness to check for any psychological damages.

  Isaiah was informed immediately and no matter how many times I said I was fine, he wasn't hearing a word of it. I gave up after my countless and useless persuasions of getting an early discharge and just drifted off to sleep with Isaiah cuddled up against my arm.

.........

"Are you hungry?" Isaiah whispered to me as my sleepy eyes drooped open from after my short nap.

"No Isaiah I want to leave here" I whined but he sighed and looked worriedly into my eyes.

"It's only till tomorrow, you'll be out by then, I promise" he said and squeezed my hand a bit and I sighed and nodded.

"Taco Bells" I said and he nodded and left after planting a soft kiss on my knuckles.

ISAIAH

  As soon as I got the food, I left the store a bit hastily, I didn't want to keep him waiting. I approached my car and placed the food carefully at the back seat before going go the driver's seat.

"Look at you, Isaiah Mateo.." the familiar low octave male voice made me turn slowly.

"Reduced to nothing but a servant for his own assistant, did he not send you here? Oh he must've, seeing as you're rushing to get food to feed your little bitch" he said and my jaws clenched in anger but I wasn't one to cause scenes so I just smirked as if unfazed by his words against my beautiful pet.

"And Mr Andros Mateo, what is your business here? What are you doing at, what do you call fast foods again, oh yes a low class dumpster where the rats feed" I said and his eyes widened in shock for a little while before he hit me with his own intimidating smirk.

"Wow, how many fucks do you get out of that kid that's gotten you so confident all of a sudden" he said with deep chuckle and something in my brained ticked as I smiled before walking closer to him.

"Laugh and smile all you want Andros, but you should know one thing, never insult anything of mine" I spat quietly through gritted teeth as raged boiled in my blood before finishing him off with a hard blow across the face.

  As soon as he realized what I had done, he reached up and felt his probably bruised cheek.

"It's a good pair you grew if you ask me" he said with a chuckle as he stretched out his jaws.

  I silently cursed under my breath and headed angrily for my car. I gripped the wheel tightly with my aching hand. The pain seemed to be nothing as I sped away and began rage driving to the hospital.

  As soon as I arrived, I tried getting to Keith's room but the nurses refused to let me in because it was supposed to be one visitor at a time and Monique had surprisingly showed up while I was away. While I waited, one of the nurses found me mindlessly massaging my injured hand with my free one.

"Nurse Nora!" She called out and Keith's nurse from this morning came rushing over but she stopped dead at her tracks as she saw me.

"Take care of his hand" the nurse said and Nora nodded before ushering me to follow her.

  We reached a room and she shakily took out a first aid kit from a cabinet.

"H..hand" she stuttered and even winced the moment she touched my injured hand.

  I would have been concerned but I just shrugged it off as the anger masked away she pain as her nervous hands moved my injury in agonisingly painful ways.

  As soon as the bandage was wrapped around my knuckles, I left the room without even looking her way talkless of telling her a thank you.

  The next few minutes, I got to Keith's room. I entered hoping to see Keith and Monique but it was just Keith who had his eyes closed as strings ot tears ran down from the side of his eyes to his ears.

"Keith" I softly called out to him and his eyes shot open and he forced on a smile before quickly wiping away his tears.

"Are you okay?" I asked as I slowly walked towards him.

"Yeah just a little sweat is all" he said and sat up while I supported him.

"I got you your food" I said and be sighed and muttered a quick thank you.

  He didn't seem to excited that I got him his favourite Tacos, heck, he barely had a bite.

"Keith I know you're not fine, tell me what the problem is" I said and he sighed.

"We'll talk later" he whispered but the uneasy feeling I had didn't go away.

"Okay"
